Wooldridge, who is an avid Purdue tennis fan and a regular in the stands last season, was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at birth.

The Boilermakers have partnered with Team IMPACT to include Wooldridge on their 2017-18 roster and involve her in all team activities. The not-for-profit aims to improve the quality of life for children faced with life-threatening or chronic illness by matching them with collegiate athletic teams.
